Hall effect modules are not yet proven to be cost effect or better performance (in terms of aiming and movement) only that they are much less likely to get stuck drift BUT they can still get stuck drift.
“I’ve always admired the build quality of PlayStation controllers…”. Sorry man, imma have to cut you off there. Stick drift has plagued ps controllers for far too long. The elites swap out sticks still drift and are almost never in stock when you do need one. For the price ps needs to make the switch to hall sensors before I can say their “quality”.

1500 hours with the ds edge controller. Still works good. Have replaced the removable joysticks and the grips on the bottom has come off on both sides. Next version should have better battery life, hall effect sticks and 4 back paddles !
after using the controller for a couple months i have already gotten stick drift. i thought i could just get new sticks but they're sold out EVERYWHERY and im regretting my purchase each day more and more
there is some company GearZ or something, they modernize controllers including ps5 changing the sticks to magnetic ones and it works then for 10+ years. maybe it is only russian company i didn't check, but i'm sure there are others like that in different countries
I also own the Hex Rival and Ultimate controller as well as Battle Beaver and really like those but the Dualsense Edge looks like a must-buy. It's got more features than those have and I love the aesthetic😊
@@iamthegamingnerd I don't mind the backbones one trick I use to prevent me from tapping them is put a thin piece of bubble wrap underneath it. It cushions it when I don't need to use it. Try it
No it's not worth it. Get the BFG. The battery life on the Edge is a joke. It's basically a wired controller. Also only having 2 back buttons is limiting in modern games with increased functions being added to games. I regret getting the Edge over the BFG.
nice review, but at 3:28 , please stop biting your nails, or dont put it in my face. Nothing personal i was just really uncomfortable xD Maybe it is just me :p
Please is there anybody in here who has a PS 4 or PS 5 he or she is not using and willing to spare?? Please 🙏. I’ve been anticipating all along to get a console but I never had the chance. Please 🙏
its cool but only 4 hrs of gameplay for battery life is a major letdown for me, my elite series 2 lasts 40 hrs in 1 charge, so i wont be getting one until playstation releases a new version with better battery
I've gone through 5 elite controllers that all had the same double activating bumper issue - so there's a major quality control there (least for me anyway)
But but but, what about the lower inner rubber grips, mine are peeling off, they wont pop back in. And the analogue sticks, yeah its nice having them removable but can you buy a spare ??? I doubt this very much. Once drift sets in on mine, ill be converting them to the 3D hall effect ones. Like i just did with my original day1 ps5 controller 👍
I get the clunky triggers on the regular controller as well. I don’t spend too much time gaming but I didn’t want to have to buy a controller again so I went with the edge. Should be getting dropped at the door any minute now. Great video!
Thank you Anthony - I think you've made a good choice. I have played with 7 or 8 different pro controllers and despite its flaws the Edge is my go to all the time now.
My same issue. Wasnt worth spending oretty much $80 for that controller to break soon again. Trying this out. Used to have the astro so i hope the official thing is just as good or better
I was so against this controller at first just because of the price, but after having one it is definitely worth it. I like you can change out the joysticks and go buy them as well instead of having to buy a new controller like the regular dual sense. It feels better in the hand for me. Those back paddles are cool and I have set mine based of what game I would be playing. Now the battery does go quick, at least imo, but not a problem. Being able to adjust the triggers is another plus for me. Playing FPS has gotten easier for me and playing all other games I set triggers accordingly. I love the controller and hopefully they will bring it in different colors. I keep this as a main and my dual sense as a back up or something the kids can use if they want to play.
You said it feels better in the hand for you. I can see the Edge is shaped slightly differently than the standard Dualsense. Does this make a difference for you?
After a year of heavy gaming with mine duelsence edge, it has more than paid for itself when compared to the regular ps5 controllers. I was wearing out a controller every 2-3 months. With the edge, I haven’t even had to swap out the stick modules yet. My only complaint is the rubber grip is starting to peel on the left hand side.
As cool as it is, I can’t justify the price tag no matter what. Heck, I can’t even justify spending $70 on a new normal controller, imo it’s a ridiculous price for a product that could break after a few matches on some competitive game (stick drift). Controller price vs. Durability is a major reason for me in making a transition to pc.
I dunno man, potentially a false hope there.. I've had £130 mice develop double clicks within 6 months. I don't think you're necessarily going to find an answer there to this particular issues. If you're struggling for costs ... hit up Fusion A for PC Gaming - I highly recommend them as a budget option for back paddles.
The battery life issue *is significant* don't say it isn't you say you played 300 hours wich means that you had to charge that controller 60 times for 200$ *yet you had to charge it 60 times for merely 300 hours so out of those 300 hours around 35 to 50 hours were you charging the controller as you used it* this isn't a small issue since the Dualsense Edge is worth almost 3 times the price of a regular controller ...
@@KillDevilXO isn't it targeting "pro" gamers tho? like im no pro but i easily play 12+ hours on the days i play ... this is just bad i hatr Xbox controllers and even i have to admit that something that offers me 40 hours VS something that offers me just 5 is superior (shame the rest of the Xbox controller is shit because it doesn't have the haptic feedback and the D-Pad is literally garbage)
@@Force-Multiplier You can be a “pro” gamer and still take breaks lol you still should be eating and taking breaks my guy and if you have a USB C fast charger you’ll charge it real quick in no time. Like, as long as this controller lasts 4-5 hours in one single charge easily I’m chilling. Doesn’t take much work to just take a break and plug it in while you’re not playing.
@@Force-Multiplier bro lol the battery will consistently last 6-7 hours. If you’re playing that long with no break then you need to stop. Touch grass every once and a while
Let’s be real, The Xbox elite series 1/2 are the BEST “pro” model controllers, from the Control & the carrying case as well as accessories & battery life. I’ve had both Series 1 & 2 and have had ZERO issues with them besides my hand sweat causing the rubber gripping from the series one to loosen & peel off after 4 years. I also love having 4 paddles instead of 2 & the ability to tune each thumpstick to my liking. I do own a PS5 and the edge as well and love how it’s still feels like the original dualsense with all the 1st party features it has but having to always charge it so often, the noise the triggers make after a while as well as only having 2 paddles are some of the negatives but the positives out weigh those few negatives, as well as costing around $25 more than Xbox’s.
It's great that you've had a good experience with them but I had 5 and they all had bumpers break into a double click making them useless - I am yet to have this with the dualsense edge and so this review comes from my perspective right?
I also have had to warranty my elite controller twice the first time was due to extreme drift the second was an issue with the triggers and now my third one has a failing vibration motor and is now out of warranty so I just have to deal. Also I am a repair tech for computers, phones and small electronics and I have had to fix many of the elite controllers while not having many other pro controllers come in, they are by far not perfect, but they are solid
It's hard to relate because I just haven't had this experience but if warranty is in place - in some ways - what's thr issue? As you can get it replaced. But I understand hall effect stick modules would be the answer.
Bro I’ve had 2 duelsense in 6 months with stick drift issues. First was original model and second was the apparently updated version that ‘fixed problem’ so ya. I’m getting a lil annoyed at having to constantly send controllers back to Sony so there is no way I’m spending this kind of money on a edge version that use exactly same analog sticks.
@@dybixs1400 I can absolutely confirm publically - I have not been paid for advertising OR receive any product for this review. All my own thoughts and my own money spent on the item.
Good controller, but price tag DOESNT justify the supertiory over a standard dual sense controller. I mean is about 4xtimes in some markets more expensive for God sake. Not worth it definitely for what it offers. A double price to dual sense make sense not more
@@KRISCHENATH sadly that controller is kind of old now. Nearly two years from release but be rest assured if anything new pops out I'll be grabbing it and reviewing it.
I'm still on my original pair I had when I first got the PlayStation, I also prefer a slightly heavier controller. Sorry that's probably not what you wanted to hear 😔
Best pro controller on the market?Hardly… $200 for 4 hours battery life, 2 paddles (4 face buttons), long travel on the triggers even at max settings, haptic triggers disabled once you shorten the triggers, build material equivalent to ur $70 dual sense, can’t adjust stick tension, thumb sticks plastic attachment instead of metal/magnet, cheap black gloss plastic . Nope sorry it’s a good looking controller and that’s about it. I’ll stick to my regular Dual sense and my Elite Series 2 when on Xbox, (9months no issues)
@@iamthegamingnerd but that doesn’t put into account that most “Pro” controllers have more features than the Edge does. It’s hardly a Pro controller when it’s missing key features and also having the worst battery life of any controller on the market. It’s also one of the most expensive on the market.
what other key features (other than 4 paddles) do you feel it's lacking in? As I mentioned in the video the battery life is laughable, I agree but unless your gaming for 5+ hours a day then you just put it back on charge. So it's never an issue for me.
@@iamthegamingnerd stick tension adjustments, the trigger travel even at max settings is way too long compared to any other pro controller on the mkt, the battery life may not be an issue to you but that’s a subjective statement and regardless it should be much better especially in competitive gaming it’s very easy to spend 6-7 hours on a game with short breaks and constantly remembering to plug the controller is inconvenient and degrades the battery over time. I have the DS Edge myself and I’ve had many moments where I spend 4.5-5 hours out COD (it’s rare) and I have to switch controllers out because the controller is done. Hall effect sticks would have been a lot more beneficial than making someone pay $20 more to change a stick. Yes I know Elite Series 2 doesnt have that but it’s also 4 years old now and technically a last gen product. I do play on the DS Edge but I wouldn’t recommend it to ppl for me it was in impulse buy that I don’t necessarily regret as I like 1st party products but it’s still underwhelming and doesn’t deserve any “best controller” praise especially at $200. Drop it $50-$60 and the controller is a bit more feasible unfortunately still won’t change the batt life that over the next year or two will be cut even shorter.
@@DeanT1987 I saw a guy review hall effect modules and they aren't as accurate as pedometers - that's why they don't use them. But let's agree to disagree. Everything you mention is subjective and from my opinion the Dualsense Edge is brilliant.
Ya gotta love a company that KNOWS a problem exists....... And does double to make sure you never complain about it again... And charge a high premium for the privilege. 🤦🏿
the high charge is for the controller case, extra features such as extra buttons that attach to the rear, thumbstick and trigger sensitivity adjustments, remappable button profiles, extra thumb caps. Are the removable modules a pain? Yes, we want hall effect sticks but I am yet to have stick drift so... how much of an issue is this? I personally think you're being a tad bitter at the cost.
Why would you show a blood and guts zombie game in the background of this review? I might have stuck to T rating games myself if they have no bearing on the content…
Mate... I literally have 3 elites collecting dust. That's £600 of controllers just ruined because of crappy components too deep in the controller to just DIY fix yourself. Will never buy Xbox Elite again.
Interesting. Never seen that but best advice!... give your hands a wash before playing. I suffer the same thing - my hands sweat a lot and the days grime goes on thr controller.
How are the face buttons after this amount of time using it? Are they still crisp? The edge felt that it was softer to push than the standard DualSense, but it might have been a design decision. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it worries me a bit regarding the durability of the membranes.
To be honest - most controllers membrane buttons feel a bit janky eh? I've had a few concerns with it but so far nothing to point out. They still press the same.
@@iamthegamingnerd Nice to know. I mean, you'd see boatloads of complains in forums regarding this "mushy" button, but I kind of feel like this is by design and it actually feels pretty good ergonomically as I've been using a much cheaper controller on PC (Gulikit) with way crisper buttons. They're what I used to be used with and getting the dualsense edge, gave me an initial impression of an abused controller button (but it was just me at the beginning lol). Overall, I prefer this short distance button presses now and if it's all good with you then I've nothing to complain then :)
Obviously everyone's preference of button press style is subjective 😄 but yes - all good from my point of view. A flaw or a minor point I'd rather have than that of the Microsoft Elite or uncomfortable back paddles.
considering but price tag is unreal... I bought 70EU DualSense (normal ver) after month got heavy stick drift... I had potentiometers replaced and month later again got the stick drift. Now but sticks got stick drift.... while my DS4 thats god knows how many years old (has been thrown, liquid spilled on etc....) works perfectly fine... so now wonder if try simply buying dualsense again and hope to not get stick drift.... or invest to edge and HOPE i wont have to switch sticks every month...
@@iamthegamingnerd thats actually pretty insane lol, those sticks have been documented to drift sometimes even in just 3 months, you won the lottery in terms of good sticks lol.
I have to ask since youve used the controller for quite a bit of time, have you had to replace the sticks yet? Thats the one thing thats worried me the most about the controller as Im glad we can replace them but my question is how long they last since $20 can add up quick
Not mocking you to disrespect you or in a mean way i see louds of people do it in comments and i think its funny with no offence to the creator. Any ways if i have offended you i am sorry
Dude you have a 3m cable with lock switch to always play via USB. Any noob know the input lag via USB vs wireless is abismal. Never use wireless, specially on competitive multiplayer of any type. Mine as over 500+ and zero problems. And I go try hard with CoDs and GT7. And tested it with 50 games, in some the game changing in yours hands is just insane.
@@chucky110 dude, just go see the difference before you talk. Are you telling me wireless as 1ms delay like USB cable? Wake up. Btw you can learn and watch it on RUclips
Yes as long as the game your playing has the ability to use a controller. You push and hold the PS Button and Share button and it will go into pairing mode. The only issue is that you can only pair it to one device at a time. I’ve played COD through remote play on my IPad Pro 12.9 M2. It’s a bit small but I’m not great anyway. Once paired you can go into iPadOS settings/general/controller and change settings which is more for dual sense controllers since Edge already has that functionality.

there is some company GearZ or something, they modernize controllers including ps5 changing the sticks to magnetic ones and it works then for 10+ years. maybe it is only russian company i didn't check, but i'm sure there are others like that in different countries
342 hrs with it and still can't pronounce its name correctly 😅 but nice review nonetheless
Best pro controller is xbox eliete 2
I have 4 in my graveyard drawer ... All broke under 6 months and some even 3 months from double actuating bumpers. I don't recommend at all.
I like my elite 2 better than my dual controller battery last longer on elite 2 50 hours longer
Its name is DualSense Edge, not DualEdge Sense.
I also own the Hex Rival and Ultimate controller as well as Battle Beaver and really like those but the Dualsense Edge looks like a must-buy. It's got more features than those have and I love the aesthetic😊
I have a hex ... its the joker decal covered controller in the video. I love them them too BUT and a big BUT the back buttons are awful.
@@iamthegamingnerd I don't mind the backbones one trick I use to prevent me from tapping them is put a thin piece of bubble wrap underneath it. It cushions it when I don't need to use it.
Try it
@@Macktube my issue isn't accidentally presses it's the opposite. Ergonomic placement and they're so stiff it's unnatural
No it's not worth it. Get the BFG. The battery life on the Edge is a joke. It's basically a wired controller. Also only having 2 back buttons is limiting in modern games with increased functions being added to games. I regret getting the Edge over the BFG.
Love the Street Fighter, background music 😎👍
nice review, but at 3:28 , please stop biting your nails, or dont put it in my face. Nothing personal i was just really uncomfortable xD Maybe it is just me :p
The dome back buttons are chefs kiss
WTF is going on with his finger nails. 😳
I have a little baby son and he bit my finger and made it bleed... but I am also guilty of nail biting 😪
No electro mag sticks sounds bad but the controller would be 300$ if it did
TLDR: he loves it

They can do no wrong.
There, saved you time.
Mate, there is a whole section on issues. Did you even watch the whole video before commenting?
3-5 hours battery life...fuck me that is shocking for £200...wow
The basically purposefully y make cheap controllers so they can sell as this expensive ones😮
Please is there anybody in here who has a PS 4 or PS 5 he or she is not using and willing to spare?? Please 🙏. I’ve been anticipating all along to get a console but I never had the chance. Please 🙏
its cool but only 4 hrs of gameplay for battery life is a major letdown for me, my elite series 2 lasts 40 hrs in 1 charge, so i wont be getting one until playstation releases a new version with better battery
I've gone through 5 elite controllers that all had the same double activating bumper issue - so there's a major quality control there (least for me anyway)
But but but, what about the lower inner rubber grips, mine are peeling off, they wont pop back in. And the analogue sticks, yeah its nice having them removable but can you buy a spare ??? I doubt this very much. Once drift sets in on mine, ill be converting them to the 3D hall effect ones. Like i just did with my original day1 ps5 controller 👍
@@dave11674 3D hall effects? Are they third party?
If you put sticks on it prolly not. Xbox elite comes with taller sticks
I get the clunky triggers on the regular controller as well. I don’t spend too much time gaming but I didn’t want to have to buy a controller again so I went with the edge. Should be getting dropped at the door any minute now. Great video!
Thank you Anthony - I think you've made a good choice. I have played with 7 or 8 different pro controllers and despite its flaws the Edge is my go to all the time now.
Same normally i wanted to buy it after my exam but just bought and now are just waiting for the delivery
@@toxinoz1410 love to see it!
"I dont spend too much time gaming" splashes 200 on controller to play offline games*
My same issue. Wasnt worth spending oretty much $80 for that controller to break soon again. Trying this out. Used to have the astro so i hope the official thing is just as good or better
I was so against this controller at first just because of the price, but after having one it is definitely worth it. I like you can change out the joysticks and go buy them as well instead of having to buy a new controller like the regular dual sense. It feels better in the hand for me. Those back paddles are cool and I have set mine based of what game I would be playing. Now the battery does go quick, at least imo, but not a problem. Being able to adjust the triggers is another plus for me. Playing FPS has gotten easier for me and playing all other games I set triggers accordingly. I love the controller and hopefully they will bring it in different colors. I keep this as a main and my dual sense as a back up or something the kids can use if they want to play.
Basically mirroring my opinion. Nice! Glad you love it buddy.
You said it feels better in the hand for you. I can see the Edge is shaped slightly differently than the standard Dualsense. Does this make a difference for you?
@@GenkiStarLeaf slightly heavier but other than, no I don't think the shape is any different. 😁
@@iamthegamingnerd Thanks for the reply man. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it looks less curved compared to the standard Dualsense!
@@GenkiStarLeaf I always reply 😁 but regardless of shape it's super comfortable
I put 2 year warranty on mines so o won’t have to pay if it starts to get stick drift
After a year of heavy gaming with mine duelsence edge, it has more than paid for itself when compared to the regular ps5 controllers. I was wearing out a controller every 2-3 months. With the edge, I haven’t even had to swap out the stick modules yet. My only complaint is the rubber grip is starting to peel on the left hand side.
@@kensprivateinvestigation2128 exactly the same!
As cool as it is, I can’t justify the price tag no matter what. Heck, I can’t even justify spending $70 on a new normal controller, imo it’s a ridiculous price for a product that could break after a few matches on some competitive game (stick drift). Controller price vs. Durability is a major reason for me in making a transition to pc.
I dunno man, potentially a false hope there.. I've had £130 mice develop double clicks within 6 months. I don't think you're necessarily going to find an answer there to this particular issues. If you're struggling for costs ... hit up Fusion A for PC Gaming - I highly recommend them as a budget option for back paddles.
You just broke it’s ok 😂
@@PeanutDaBoss Talk to me again when mommy stops buying your things😂
@@Settiis 😭😭😂🤣😂
@@PeanutDaBoss PS controllers are like ink cartridges, a scam
The battery life issue *is significant* don't say it isn't
you say you played 300 hours wich means that you had to charge that controller 60 times for 200$
*yet you had to charge it 60 times for merely 300 hours so out of those 300 hours around 35 to 50 hours were you charging the controller as you used it*
this isn't a small issue since the Dualsense Edge is worth almost 3 times the price of a regular controller ...
Bro lol everyone needs to take a break sometimes its not a big deal to charge the controller in between breaks
@@KillDevilXO isn't it targeting "pro" gamers tho? like im no pro but i easily play 12+ hours on the days i play ...
this is just bad i hatr Xbox controllers and even i have to admit that something that offers me 40 hours VS something that offers me just 5 is superior (shame the rest of the Xbox controller is shit because it doesn't have the haptic feedback and the D-Pad is literally garbage)
@@Force-Multiplier You can be a “pro” gamer and still take breaks lol you still should be eating and taking breaks my guy and if you have a USB C fast charger you’ll charge it real quick in no time. Like, as long as this controller lasts 4-5 hours in one single charge easily I’m chilling. Doesn’t take much work to just take a break and plug it in while you’re not playing.
@@KillDevilXO every 4-5 hours *sounds like hell* good luck with that ...
@@Force-Multiplier bro lol the battery will consistently last 6-7 hours. If you’re playing that long with no break then you need to stop. Touch grass every once and a while
Let’s be real, The Xbox elite series 1/2 are the BEST “pro” model controllers, from the Control & the carrying case as well as accessories & battery life. I’ve had both Series 1 & 2 and have had ZERO issues with them besides my hand sweat causing the rubber gripping from the series one to loosen & peel off after 4 years. I also love having 4 paddles instead of 2 & the ability to tune each thumpstick to my liking. I do own a PS5 and the edge as well and love how it’s still feels like the original dualsense with all the 1st party features it has but having to always charge it so often, the noise the triggers make after a while as well as only having 2 paddles are some of the negatives but the positives out weigh those few negatives, as well as costing around $25 more than Xbox’s.
It's great that you've had a good experience with them but I had 5 and they all had bumpers break into a double click making them useless - I am yet to have this with the dualsense edge and so this review comes from my perspective right?
I also have had to warranty my elite controller twice the first time was due to extreme drift the second was an issue with the triggers and now my third one has a failing vibration motor and is now out of warranty so I just have to deal. Also I am a repair tech for computers, phones and small electronics and I have had to fix many of the elite controllers while not having many other pro controllers come in, they are by far not perfect, but they are solid
my ds5 and dse are both stick drifting but my ds4 even after 5 years of usage for an uncountable hours of usage still has no stick drift 😆
It's hard to relate because I just haven't had this experience but if warranty is in place - in some ways - what's thr issue? As you can get it replaced. But I understand hall effect stick modules would be the answer.
STOP EATING YOUR NAILS!!!
I went through 3 edge in 3 weeks. Stick drift. And faulty inputs. Went back to regular
Ouch.. always seems the way with controllers. 1 person gets 1 that works as should and others go through 1 faulty controller after another.
Bro I’ve had 2 duelsense in 6 months with stick drift issues. First was original model and second was the apparently updated version that ‘fixed problem’ so ya. I’m getting a lil annoyed at having to constantly send controllers back to Sony so there is no way I’m spending this kind of money on a edge version that use exactly same analog sticks.
Wait 3???
Is the "Dualedge Sense" thing an inside joke or are you just misspeaking over and over again 🤣
No. I'm dyslexic and wrote it in my script wrong 😔
Thank you for this video. I've made my decision and getting one today. Wish I didn't wait so long.
Awww that's awesome! Any problems - feel free to hit up my comments and I will do my best to help.
You said this is the best pro controller in the market while it doesn’t even have four back buttons
I don't use four back buttons - so my opinion still stands. Remember this video is a review from my perspective.

Battery life on a controller is such an ADHD complaint. Youre an adult now. Charge it. Lmao wtf.
I point it out but it doesn't personally affect my recommendation of the controller - as you can even play with it wired so 🤷♂️
Good controller, but price tag DOESNT justify the supertiory over a standard dual sense controller. I mean is about 4xtimes in some markets more expensive for God sake. Not worth it definitely for what it offers. A double price to dual sense make sense not more
It's inline with the market unfortunately
It is bad news
Can you review Naon Revolution 5 Pro please?
@@KRISCHENATH sadly that controller is kind of old now. Nearly two years from release but be rest assured if anything new pops out I'll be grabbing it and reviewing it.

@@thewinner3163 use your warranty and send it back? Or swap it with the retailer?
Sony's default controllers just keep getting crappier. And why are they so damn heavy?
I'm still on my original pair I had when I first got the PlayStation, I also prefer a slightly heavier controller. Sorry that's probably not what you wanted to hear 😔
Damn I do about 2hrs a week
Best pro controller on the market?Hardly… $200 for 4 hours battery life, 2 paddles (4 face buttons), long travel on the triggers even at max settings, haptic triggers disabled once you shorten the triggers, build material equivalent to ur $70 dual sense, can’t adjust stick tension, thumb sticks plastic attachment instead of metal/magnet, cheap black gloss plastic . Nope sorry it’s a good looking controller and that’s about it. I’ll stick to my regular Dual sense and my Elite Series 2 when on Xbox, (9months no issues)
Elite Series 2.. I'm on my 5th version because of bumper double clicking. Every controller has a subjective view - ours clearly differ. 👌
@@iamthegamingnerd but that doesn’t put into account that most “Pro” controllers have more features than the Edge does. It’s hardly a Pro controller when it’s missing key features and also having the worst battery life of any controller on the market. It’s also one of the most expensive on the market.
what other key features (other than 4 paddles) do you feel it's lacking in? As I mentioned in the video the battery life is laughable, I agree but unless your gaming for 5+ hours a day then you just put it back on charge. So it's never an issue for me.
@@iamthegamingnerd stick tension adjustments, the trigger travel even at max settings is way too long compared to any other pro controller on the mkt, the battery life may not be an issue to you but that’s a subjective statement and regardless it should be much better especially in competitive gaming it’s very easy to spend 6-7 hours on a game with short breaks and constantly remembering to plug the controller is inconvenient and degrades the battery over time. I have the DS Edge myself and I’ve had many moments where I spend 4.5-5 hours out COD (it’s rare) and I have to switch controllers out because the controller is done. Hall effect sticks would have been a lot more beneficial than making someone pay $20 more to change a stick. Yes I know Elite Series 2 doesnt have that but it’s also 4 years old now and technically a last gen product. I do play on the DS Edge but I wouldn’t recommend it to ppl for me it was in impulse buy that I don’t necessarily regret as I like 1st party products but it’s still underwhelming and doesn’t deserve any “best controller” praise especially at $200. Drop it $50-$60 and the controller is a bit more feasible unfortunately still won’t change the batt life that over the next year or two will be cut even shorter.
@@DeanT1987 I saw a guy review hall effect modules and they aren't as accurate as pedometers - that's why they don't use them. But let's agree to disagree.
Everything you mention is subjective and from my opinion the Dualsense Edge is brilliant.
Ya gotta love a company that KNOWS a problem exists.......
And does double to make sure you never complain about it again...
And charge a high premium for the privilege.
🤦🏿
the high charge is for the controller case, extra features such as extra buttons that attach to the rear, thumbstick and trigger sensitivity adjustments, remappable button profiles, extra thumb caps.
Are the removable modules a pain? Yes, we want hall effect sticks but I am yet to have stick drift so... how much of an issue is this?
I personally think you're being a tad bitter at the cost.
Yes, ir is
Just buy 3 regular dualsense controllers for that price.
@@dewrow none of them will have back buttons or trigger stops. 🤷♂️

Might pick one up i game in PC but that gsrbage elite series 2 broke after 3 months -_- no idea how a company like microsoft gets away with it
Mate... I literally have 3 elites collecting dust. That's £600 of controllers just ruined because of crappy components too deep in the controller to just DIY fix yourself. Will never buy Xbox Elite again.
1:38 psychotic controller grip. Do you not use the triggers???
Sure I do... I bash them with my head.
I hate how cheap the material from the grips is so cheap and 💩 , my grips is getting this yellow colors , I’m using alcohol I can’t clean that
Interesting. Never seen that but best advice!... give your hands a wash before playing. I suffer the same thing - my hands sweat a lot and the days grime goes on thr controller.
How are the face buttons after this amount of time using it? Are they still crisp? The edge felt that it was softer to push than the standard DualSense, but it might have been a design decision. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it worries me a bit regarding the durability of the membranes.
To be honest - most controllers membrane buttons feel a bit janky eh? I've had a few concerns with it but so far nothing to point out. They still press the same.
@@iamthegamingnerd Nice to know. I mean, you'd see boatloads of complains in forums regarding this "mushy" button, but I kind of feel like this is by design and it actually feels pretty good ergonomically as I've been using a much cheaper controller on PC (Gulikit) with way crisper buttons. They're what I used to be used with and getting the dualsense edge, gave me an initial impression of an abused controller button (but it was just me at the beginning lol). Overall, I prefer this short distance button presses now and if it's all good with you then I've nothing to complain then :)
Obviously everyone's preference of button press style is subjective 😄 but yes - all good from my point of view. A flaw or a minor point I'd rather have than that of the Microsoft Elite or uncomfortable back paddles.
considering but price tag is unreal...
I bought 70EU DualSense (normal ver) after month got heavy stick drift... I had potentiometers replaced and month later again got the stick drift. Now but sticks got stick drift.... while my DS4 thats god knows how many years old (has been thrown, liquid spilled on etc....) works perfectly fine...
so now wonder if try simply buying dualsense again and hope to not get stick drift.... or invest to edge and HOPE i wont have to switch sticks every month...
I genuinely haven't had these issues. Have you been using your warranty to take the controller back for a replacement?
That's 342 hours is only alittle over 14 days working. 😮

Good controller but sadly ps5 is not attractive if you don’t like walking cutscene simulators
So you're a PC player then? Still works on PC.
My battery is trash 4 months in. Great controller but the battery is hot garbage
Don't disagree it's poor, but I don't think it's been a deal breaker for me. That's how I'd describe it.
I have to ask since youve used the controller for quite a bit of time, have you had to replace the sticks yet? Thats the one thing thats worried me the most about the controller as Im glad we can replace them but my question is how long they last since $20 can add up quick
Not once and I don't have any current signs of stick drift either. I hope that helps! 🙏

I haven't got an iPad to test unfortunately buddy.
Yes as long as the game your playing has the ability to use a controller. You push and hold the PS Button and Share button and it will go into pairing mode. The only issue is that you can only pair it to one device at a time. I’ve played COD through remote play on my IPad Pro 12.9 M2. It’s a bit small but I’m not great anyway. Once paired you can go into iPadOS settings/general/controller and change settings which is more for dual sense controllers since Edge already has that functionality.
